Skull base chondrosarcoma: a case treated by the CyberKnife system.
Skull base chondrosarcomas represent 2% of all chondrosarcomas. They usually have a low grade of malignity and a complete resection may be curative. However, often they are considered irresectable because of the difficult approach and another kind of treatment is needed. We present a 54-year-old male case who, after weeks suffering from diplopia, was diagnosed with skull base chondrosarcoma and treated with the CyberKnife system. A review of radiosurgery techniques for skull base neoplasms is carried out.
